The original has played on smashes for everyone from David Bowie to Daft Punk and the Custom Shop version aims to capture some of that Hitmaker spirit. Check out the full press release below from Fender to find out about the original guitar - and what you can expect from the new Custom Shop model.

Many might not recognize the name, but make no mistake—the sounds of Nile Rodgers and the Hitmaker are virtually inescapable. As a guitarist, producer, composer and arranger, his sales have topped more than 100 million albums over a career now in its sixth decade, and hardly a day goes by when you don't hear music to which he has contributed in some invaluable way, very often with the Hitmaker in hand.

More recently, Rodgers and the Hitmaker contributed to 2013 hit albums True by Avicii and Random Access Memories by Daft Punk, including the latter's multi-platinum hit, "Get Lucky."

Rodgers' affectionately nicknamed Hitmaker is a 1960 Stratocaster with a 1959 neck. He got it for a trade-in long ago at a small shop in Miami Beach, Fla. Exceptionally light in weight; it has a maple fingerboard and bears a well-worn white finish. Rodgers says it doesn't sound like any other Stratocaster in the world.
